web3-polymarket
Polymarket integration for prediction market trading on Polygon. Covers authentication (L1 EIP-712, L2 HMAC-SHA256, builder headers), order placement (GTC/GTD/FOK/FAK, batch, post-only, heartbeat), market data (Gamma API, Data API, orderbook, subgraph), WebSocket streaming (market/user/sports channels), CTF operations (split, merge, redeem, negative risk), bridge (deposits, withdrawals, multi-chain), and gasless relayer transactions. Use when building AI agents, autonomous market makers, prediction market UIs, or any application integrating with Polymarket on Polygon.

Polymarket Skill
When to use this skill
Use this skill when the user asks about or needs to build:
- Polymarket API authentication (L1/L2, API keys, HMAC signing)
- Placing or managing orders (limit, market, GTC, GTD, FOK, FAK, batch, cancel)
- Reading orderbook data (prices, spreads, midpoints, depth)
- Market data fetching (events, markets, by slug, by tag, pagination)
- WebSocket subscriptions (market channel, user channel, sports)
- CTF operations (split, merge, redeem positions)
- Negative risk markets (multi-outcome, conversion, augmented neg risk)
- Bridge operations (deposits, withdrawals, multi-chain)
- Gasless transactions (relayer client, order attribution)
- Builder program integration (order attribution, API keys, tiers)
- Polymarket SDK usage (TypeScript @polymarket/clob-client, Python py-clob-client)

Client Setup
TypeScript
import { ClobClient, Side, OrderType } from "@polymarket/clob-client";
import { Wallet } from "ethers"; // v5.8.0
const HOST = "https://clob.polymarket.com";
const CHAIN_ID = 137;
const signer = new Wallet(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY);
// Step 1: L1 — derive API credentials
const tempClient = new ClobClient(HOST, CHAIN_ID, signer);
const apiCreds = await tempClient.createOrDeriveApiKey();
// Step 2: L2 — init trading client
const client = new ClobClient(
HOST,
CHAIN_ID,
signer,
apiCreds,
2, // signatureType: 0=EOA, 1=POLY_PROXY, 2=GNOSIS_SAFE
"FUNDER_ADDRESS" // proxy wallet address from polymarket.com/settings
);
Python
from py_clob_client.client import ClobClient
import os
host = "https://clob.polymarket.com"
chain_id = 137
pk = os.getenv("PRIVATE_KEY")
# Step 1: L1 — derive API credentials
temp_client = ClobClient(host, key=pk, chain_id=chain_id)
api_creds = temp_client.create_or_derive_api_creds()
# Step 2: L2 — init trading client
client = ClobClient(
host,
key=pk,
chain_id=chain_id,
creds=api_creds,
signature_type=2, # 0=EOA, 1=POLY_PROXY, 2=GNOSIS_SAFE
funder="FUNDER_ADDRESS",
)
Quick Reference: Order Types
| Type | Behavior | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| GTC | Rests on book until filled or cancelled | Default limit orders |
| GTD | Active until expiration (UTC seconds). Min = now + 60 + N | Auto-expire before events |
| FOK | Fill entirely immediately or cancel | All-or-nothing market orders |
| FAK | Fill what's available, cancel rest | Partial-fill market orders |
- FOK/FAK BUY:
amount= dollar amount to spend - FOK/FAK SELL:
amount= number of shares to sell - Post-only: GTC/GTD only — rejected if would cross spread
Quick Reference: Signature Types
| Type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| EOA | 0 | Standard Ethereum wallet (MetaMask). Funder is the EOA address and will need POL for gas. |
| POLY_PROXY | 1 | Custom proxy wallet for Magic Link email/Google users who exported PK from Polymarket.com. |
| GNOSIS_SAFE | 2 | Gnosis Safe multisig proxy wallet (most common). Use for any new or returning user. |
Core Pattern: Place an Order
TypeScript
const response = await client.createAndPostOrder(
{
tokenID: "TOKEN_ID",
price: 0.50,
size: 10,
side: Side.BUY,
},
{
tickSize: "0.01", // from client.getTickSize(tokenID) or market object
negRisk: false, // from client.getNegRisk(tokenID) or market object
},
OrderType.GTC
);
console.log(response.orderID, response.status);
Python
from py_clob_client.clob_types import OrderArgs, OrderType
from py_clob_client.order_builder.constants import BUY
response = client.create_and_post_order(
OrderArgs(token_id="TOKEN_ID", price=0.50, size=10, side=BUY),
options={"tick_size": "0.01", "neg_risk": False},
order_type=OrderType.GTC,
)
print(response["orderID"], response["status"])
Core Pattern: Read Orderbook
TypeScript
// No auth needed
const readClient = new ClobClient("https://clob.polymarket.com", 137);
const book = await readClient.getOrderBook("TOKEN_ID");
console.log("Best bid:", book.bids[0], "Best ask:", book.asks[0]);
const mid = await readClient.getMidpoint("TOKEN_ID");
const spread = await readClient.getSpread("TOKEN_ID");
Python
read_client = ClobClient("https://clob.polymarket.com", chain_id=137)
book = read_client.get_order_book("TOKEN_ID")
mid = read_client.get_midpoint("TOKEN_ID")
spread = read_client.get_spread("TOKEN_ID")
Core Pattern: WebSocket Subscribe
const ws = new WebSocket("wss://ws-subscriptions-clob.polymarket.com/ws/market");
ws.onopen = () => {
ws.send(JSON.stringify({
type: "market",
assets_ids: ["TOKEN_ID"],
custom_feature_enabled: true,
}));
// Send PING every 10s to keep alive
setInterval(() => ws.send("PING"), 10_000);
};
ws.onmessage = (event) => {
if (event.data === "PONG") return;
const msg = JSON.parse(event.data);
// msg.event_type: "book" | "price_change" | "last_trade_price" | "tick_size_change" | "best_bid_ask" | "new_market" | "market_resolved"
};
